LORE SKILLS

Engineering (Mental; 0% base; Training Only)

Trained engineers have a good understanding of mechanical principles and methods of construction. Although capable of
working with others, engineers may also complete many tasks by themselves. Engineers are conversant with metal/
woodworking tools and terminology. They can draw up plans and can interpret technical drawings no matter how

obscure or involved. Master Engineers (90%+) can supervise gangs of skilled/semi-skilled/unskilled laborers up to their
APPx5 in number. Engineers can prepare plans for many projects including war machines, river locks, mills, fortresses
and dams. Many engineers are familiar with the techniques and engines of siege warfare.

Chemistry (Mental; 0% base; Training Only)

Characters with this skill have a reasonable understanding of the principles of Chemistry, although their knowledge will
often be in a magical or mystical form. As chemists these characters have the ability to recognize various types of mineral
ores, naturally occurring chemical compounds and prepared chemicals. They also know where to look for these items

(volcanic sulfur). Chemists also know how to extract and refine chemicals from mineral ores and compounds. They can

isolate an element from its compound to produce iron, copper, silver, etc. The GM should guide PC chemists in the use of
this skill and say what is and is not possible. Gunpowder is unknown in the Young Kingdoms and should stay that way to
preserve the campaign flavor. "Greek Fire" mixtures are possible, usually consisting of naphtha, sulfur, bitumen and oil.
Melnibonean chemists know this mixture well. Fumbles on the skill roll can be expensive, messy and painful!

Metallurgy (Mental; 0% base; Training Only)

Characters with this skill recognize the ores of the more important metals ( Fe, Cu, Sn, Pb, Ag) and, given the right

equipment, can extract the metal from the ore. They can also calculate the correct mixture of metals required to produce
alloys of various qualities, including bronze, pewter and electrum. Note that this skill confers no ability to work the
prepared metal; a smith craft skill is required for that.
